The southernmost of the largest waterways of Russia – the river Kuban – rightfully considered the main river in the North Caucasus. river of KubanAfter a long (almost thousand kilometer) path from the scenic slopes of mount Elbrus in the vast expanses of the Stavropol and Krasnodar territory, it brings its waters into the Temryuk Bay of the Azov sea. Almost all of the tributaries of the Kuban starts on the slopes of the greater Caucasus and carry their water from its left Bank. On the right side it does not fall into any any significant influx, but because the river basin is distinguished by its pronounced asymmetrical structure. Starting from the head, Kuban ' - river mountain, and in the middle and the bottom – flat. The water in it is characterized by its turbidity. Annually over to the mouth makes about 9 million tons of suspended sediment. Approximately a hundred kilometers from the mouth of the Kuban river separates it shipping right sleeve Duct. From this place starts a wide Delta, covering an area of more than 4 thousand square km That is often flooded during flood wetlands called the Kuban marshes.

Where it took its name of the river Kuban, has not been fully elucidated. It is believed that it comes from a modified pronunciation of the Turkic name of the river Koeman (meaning “river”). In more ancient times it was called, Hopanes (in translation Greek – “violent, strong river”). Still it was called the City (that Adyghe is translated as “ancient river" another option – “mother river”).

Kuban riverWith the passage of time has changed not only the name of the river, but also its direction. Where is now the Kuban river Delta and was once a large Bay of the Azov sea, stretching from Taman to Krasnodar. However, over time, mainly by tectonic reasons and because of the mud volcanoes, the territory of the Taman Peninsula changed its landscape. In the end, instead of the Bay formed a lagoon, demarcated by the isthmus of land that eventually became more. The result was that now the sea is Delta. But in the nineteenth century, the Kuban river flowing into the black sea Kiziltashskiy estuary through the Old Kuban. Subsequently her way in that direction was closed.
